Of course, several young ladies of the Lin family who were about to get married also knew about Lin Zhu's arrival. Whether they actively inquired about it or heard about it passively, the influence brought by Lin Zhu gave them some ideas.
Lin Qingxue was very dissatisfied that her family agreed to Lin Zhu's coming over, and when she found out that even her grandfather looked at Lin Zhu differently, she became even more disgusted with her.
He made a big splash at Princess Changmin's garden party, and now he has entered the Lin family's home, which may have attracted more attention in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
In the Lin family, Lin Qingxue, as the legitimate daughter, is one of the most favored mistresses. The other one is Lin Qingyue, who has become Prince Qi's concubine. However, because she took the initiative to become a concubine, the Lin family did not have any concubines for a long time.
No one dares to mention it in front of Mr. Lin.
Because as Lin Qingyue, it is very easy to marry into a family of similar status and become a wife. Coupled with the support of the Lin family, her life in her husband's family will be very harmonious and smooth.
But despite her family's obstruction and Mr. Lin's anger, she insisted on becoming Prince Qi's concubine. Even if she was rejected, she still found ways to marry her. So much so that her story is still a taboo in the Lin family. No one dares to mention it.
.
Because Lin Qingyue's behavior disappointed several elders of the Lin family, she was even more strict with the other ladies in the house.
From the nurturing mother to the personal maid, they are all carefully selected. Among them, the second lady Lin Qinglan and the fourth lady Lin Qingxue are the ones who get the most attention.
And Lin Qingxue also has a slightly better posture than Lin Qingyue back then. Whether it is in terms of appearance or the way she behaves in front of the elders, she is very popular with the elders.
Therefore, Lin Qingxue's temperament gradually became a bit arrogant. She wanted to take the lead in everything, and she had to be the center of everything.
Lin Zhu's appearance made her uncomfortable from the beginning. In fact, she didn't really care because Lin Zhu's identity was so different from hers that there was no comparison at all.
Lin Qingxue looked down on Lin Zhu from the bottom of her heart.
But from the garden party to today's visit to Lin Zhu's house, Lin Qingxue was very dissatisfied. She always thought about giving her some color to show her off. So that Lin Zhu would know that it was not her turn for a country girl to steal the show in the Lin Mansion.
.
There is another young lady in the Lin family who is somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Zhu. Lin Qingping, the elder of the Lin family, ranks third. She was implicated because of Lin Qingyue's affairs. Therefore, Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin are a little cold towards her. This makes her very cold.
She was so arrogant that she couldn't bear it.
She also heard her mother talking about Lin Zhu, who seemed to be liked by the two elders of the Lin family, which made her even more unbalanced. Forget it if it was another young lady from the Lin family, but she had nothing to do with the Lin family except for the same surname.
Even the little people above her were better than her. Her resentment towards Lin Zhu deepened instantly.
Lin Qinglan didn't have any dissatisfaction with Lin Zhu. However, she felt a little strange when she heard that the second lady mentioned that Lin Zhu seemed to have sent something very valuable.
"Mom, is this Miss Lin Zhu's identity not very simple?" Lin Qinglan was sitting in the second wife Wu's room, holding a cup of tea and looking at Wu who looked calm.
"Why do you ask that?" The second lady raised her head and glanced at her daughter, thinking that she was always smart and would not make random guesses.
"When I was at the Buddhist temple, I knew she might have a small fortune. But then I met Princess Changmin at her garden party. Although she was with the Wang family, I heard that Princess Changmin even talked to her in person." Lin Qinglan recalled.
Talking about the encounter with Lin Zhu, "Also, today you talked about my grandfather's attitude. How can ordinary people get those things?"
Wu nodded, smiled at her daughter, and was very satisfied with her analysis. "You're right. I also heard that the things she sent this time were quite a lot of two thousand taels. Not including the things for Xiao Qi.
.”
"At first, I thought she was asking for something from our Lin family, but your grandfather's attitude was very certain that she didn't. He probably knew her identity. Maybe it was inconvenient to tell us, but when you meet her again, you can make up your mind.
Just be proportionate and don’t care too much.”
Lin Qinglan nodded understandingly. She also knew that some of her sisters were not very friendly towards Lin Zhu, but she had never been able to talk to them very well, so she did not go out of her way to remind them.
Since Lin Zhu promised to make delicious food for Lin Yuewei, when he arrived at Lin Yuewei's small yard and heard that he had a small kitchen here, he happily started to prepare it.
This is because Mr. Lin loves Lin Yuewei too much. No one else can live in a yard by himself at such a young age and even have a small kitchen.
Lin Zhu looked at the equipment of the kitchen and was satisfied that everything in it was complete.
"Sister, what delicious food are you going to make for me?" Lin Yuewei, who was curious, followed Lin Zhu into the kitchen, ignoring the repeated reminders from people around him.
"Why did you come in?" Lin Zhu looked at Lin Yuewei who was looking at the kitchen curiously, "They say a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, so you should wait outside."
"No, I also want to help my sister." Lin Yuewei saw that Minglu had been doing things under Lin Zhu's command, and wanted to join in.
"There are fires and knives in the kitchen. It's very dangerous for you. Obediently, you go to the house and wait for me for a while." Lin Zhu was very satisfied with his attitude, but the kitchen was really too dangerous for a six-year-old child.
It was too dangerous, and this place was not like a modern kitchen like in her previous life. The fire was all made of firewood. If she was injured, she would not be able to eat and walk away.
When Lin Yuewei's personal mother heard what Lin Zhu said, a big stone fell in her heart. Even if the seventh young master was not injured, just by staying in the kitchen, she would be severely punished by the third lady afterwards. In her heart
But I am very afraid of this third lady who looks kind on the surface but is very dark under her men.
"Sister, you have to come back soon." Lin Yuewei reluctantly left the kitchen.
Although it is said that he is making some food for Lin Yuewei, he cannot just make a small amount. Not to mention the servants here, even the masters of the Lin Mansion must properly let Lin Yuewei fulfill his filial piety.
So the amount Lin Zhu made was not small.
Except for the special white rice, beef, potatoes, peppers and watermelon juice that I brought over, everything else had to be taken from the Lin family's kitchen.
Ever since the first servant who went to the Lin family's big kitchen to get something was made things difficult for her, Lin Zhu felt a little unhappy, but a strong dragon would not overwhelm local snakes, not to mention she was not a strong dragon either. She had no choice but to ask Minglu to give Lin Yuewei this
The servants nearby gave them rewards for their hard work.
With money to open the way, things will of course be much easier to handle.
In less than two hours, all the meals were ready. Of course, the meals for the master and the servants were different. The master's meals were richer, while those for the servants were simpler. But the servants in Lin Yuewei's yard didn't care.
This is because there will be only Lin Yuewei and Lin Zhu when we eat later, and neither of them seems to be particularly good at eating.
Not all of the remaining food was rewarded to them afterwards, and experts would know it right away. From the moment Lin Zhu started cooking, they knew that her craftsmanship was impeccable, as evidenced by the aroma wafting throughout the yard.
"Yue Yue," this is Lin Zhu's nickname, and Lin Yue Wei also likes her calling herself this way. "Take these and give them to the elders so that they can also taste them. They usually treat you a lot."
If you have care, if you have anything to share with others, you must not be stingy."
"Okay, sister, wait until I come back." Lin Yuewei seemed to trust Lin Zhu from the bottom of his heart, so he would listen to what she said.
So Lin Yuewei took his servants and carried two food boxes to Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin's yard.
"Grandpa, grandma, Xiaoqi has brought you delicious food." As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Yuewei shouted loudly into the house.
As soon as Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin heard his voice, smiles appeared on their faces.
Originally, it was still during the Chinese New Year, and the whole family should have dinner together, but there were always some unavoidable social events that needed someone to handle, so in their yard, Mrs. Lin, her three daughters-in-law, and the second young lady Lin Qinglan
, Third Miss Lin Qingping and Fourth Miss Lin Qingxue had dinner together. Generally, concubines are not seen on such occasions.
However, Mr. Lin didn't go out because of Lin Zhu's arrival, so there was one more person at lunch today.
Seeing Lin Yuewei taking out the contents of the food box one by one like a little adult, and placing them in front of Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin. They both smiled at their beloved little grandson.
.
In fact, it is not that there are no other juniors who show their filial piety to them, but they all come with the intention of pleasing them. They are very old, and it is difficult to see what kind of thoughts they have, but they just don't care.
But Lin Yuewei has always been very innocent, without any messy thoughts, and he is not even willing to be petty in front of the two elders, so he is the most loved.
It's a pity that other people don't understand this.
"Xiao Qi, what are these?" Mr. Lin recognized that there were chicken, meat, and some pies. Although he thought it was too simple, he still asked intentionally.
"This bowl is watermelon chicken, stewed with watermelon juice." Lin Zhu introduced each dish to Lin Yuewei one by one, asking him to answer when someone asked.
"This plate is the secret sauce beef. Grandpa, this is delicious." Because the sauce beef was prepared and brought over by Lin Zhu, Lin Yuewei took a bite in advance. The other dishes were all home-cooked dishes, not delicious at all.
surprisingly.
So even though Lin Yuewei introduced it, it didn't attract the Lin family's attention.
"Have you eaten?" After he finished the introduction, Mr. Lin asked with concern.
"Not yet. My sister said that I would send it to my grandparents first." Lin Yuewei's little eyes were a little anxious. He really wanted to go back to eat.
"Haha, let's go." Mr. Lin understood that he was here to fulfill his filial piety, and he accepted his feelings, so he let Lin Yuewei go back.
"Okay, let's have dinner." After Lin Yuewei left, Mr. Lin spoke and started to eat. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
